Seahawks Soar over Cardinals

GLENDALE, Ariz. – The Chuck Knox-coached Seahawks never did it. Neither did the Mike Holmgren-coached Seahawks.

But the Pete Carroll-coached Seahawks of 2013 are 6-1 after a 32-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium on Thursday night.

So the Seahawks are 6-1 for the first time in their 38-year history, and the win over the Cardinals assures they will continue to lead their NFC West – regardless of how the San Francisco 49ers (4-2) do against the Titans in Tennessee on Sunday – as they now get a long break before their Oct. 28 game against the Rams in St. Louis on “Monday Night Football.”

The victory also was only the second in eight games for the Seahawks at University of Phoenix Stadium.
